Killing Floor 3 Reviews
Killing Floor 3 is a polished sequel that feels both smartly streamlined and somewhat hollow, coming across more like a solid Early Access launch than a full release.
Killing Floor 3 is fun, quick to pick up, and builds on what worked for its predecessors. And while there'll always be a place for gory multiplayer shooters, they are a dime a dozen, and this one doesn't do a lot to stand out from the rest.
Mowing down zed is still fun in principle, but the weak sound design, questionable aesthetic shift, and repetitive gameplay loop make it hard to justify at the full price of $39.99. If Tripwire supports this game as much as it did with its predecessor, Killing Floor 3 stands a chance of being good. For now, it isn't there yet.
Killing Floor 3 is a fantastic new entry into a classic series, bringing novel ideas, refinements, and technologies to the table. Technical and gameplay caveats keep it from perfection, but it nevertheless remains a good game with a great price.
As I expected, your mileage will Killing Floor 3 will likely depend on the friends you bring to the party. Fortunately, crossplay between PC and consoles makes that easier than ever. Unfortunately, if you don’t have some buds on hand, the content here might not keep you hooked in for more than a few hours.
Killing Floor 3 is a weird one. It looks better. It’s technically deeper. The gore and co-op moments still slap. But it’s also slower, clunkier, and more controlled than the chaos we used to love.
Killing Floor 3 is a good sequel, with interesting additions and the refinement of a formula that works as well as ever. However, it has little launch content and relies too heavily on its progression system.

Faster, bloodier, and more intense than ever - Killing Floor is back, hitting every mark when it comes to brutal dismemberment, all while being insanely fun and nerve-racking.
Killing Floor 3 is NOTHING like the older games—and while that’s not all bad, it loses much of the chaotic charm in trying to be something new. It takes itself too seriously, trading identity for polish, but without the baggage of its predecessors, there’s still fun to be had.
At its core, "Killing Floor 3" is a more than solid game. The gameplay feels good, albeit underwhelming, and it offers varied levels, a good number of different enemies, and a sufficiently large selection of weapons to keep you interested.

Killing Floor 3 is a case study in contradictions, positively iterating on the best aspects from the series' past while introducing confusing features that would make more sense in another game.
Killing Floor 3 isn't perfect and has had a rocky start, but it demonstrates Tripwire's commitment to its legacy and its community. With the improvements already implemented and those yet to come, it has the potential to cement itself as a benchmark in the co-op survival shooter genre. We hope it succeeds.

Killing Floor 3 is the latest installment in the franchise from Tripwire Interactive, released on July 24, 2025. The game retains its signature frantic combat against hordes of Zeds in cooperative matches for up to six players, now featuring a fixed class system, more dynamic maps, and strategic traps. It delivers enhanced graphics, industrial sci-fi environments, and gameplay mechanics that emphasize teamwork—without abandoning the classic elements that made the series a fan favorite.

Killing Floor 3 demonstrates that the classic formula still has much to offer. It's a game that perfectly understands what makes the series special: frenetic action, necessary cooperation, and visceral violence. The current problems are fixable through patches, and the studio's commitment to long-term support is promising.

Compared to Killing Floor 2, Killing Floor 3 is a step up. The amount of customization at your disposal will make you want to see what every gun is truly capable of. The new skills characters have are so fun and make the player feel powerful, no matter the class you choose. Blasting Zeds while listening to metal has never been better.
While Killing Floor 3 still lacks depth compared to its predecessor, it is still one of the best zombie games of the decade. Killing Floor’s winning formula remains well-embedded in its third title, and it is the most ambitious zombie horde shooter of the decade.
Killing Floor 3 is bloody, gorgeous, and so much fun to play. The gunplay feels impactful and tight, with fewer limitations for the weapons you want to use. The classic Killing Floor gameplay still holds up even today, and the updated visuals and dismemberment system make each shot count. While it can be a grind, I ultimately love the new weapon mod system and how I can create my own loadouts of each gun to be what I want. The character cosmetics and hub are a little disappointing, but they don't harm the overall experience. It's also surprisingly playable on the Steam Deck, which I found interesting. I didn't expect it to be playable, but disable Lumen and we have a very solid-performing experience. It's not going to hit 60 FPS, but it will be able to stick above 40 when playing solo and 30 when playing with friends. Killing Floor 3 is everything I wanted it to be, and I can't wait to see what content will be coming next.
Killing Floor 3 is an impressively fun time that may very well be the best zombie game since Left 4 Dead 2. With great gunplay, unique classes, and the impressive M.E.A.T. 2 system, this is a game you can count on being a great time. However, the lack of randomization and story elements prevents it from reaching the heights it could in the genre. Still, Killing Floor 3 is an easy recommendation, as the core experience is just that good.
Killing Floor 3 successfully modernizes its core while remaining true to its roots. It builds upon solid gameplay, aiming for greater variety, but is hindered by limited content and a repetitive structure.

Killing Floor 3 took a step forward but several steps back. While it succeeded in delivering an enjoyable co-op experience, it’s limited strictly to playing with friends. At the same time, it failed to evolve meaningfully—monsters feel less terrifying, the atmosphere is less gory, and the overall content is too limited to satisfy long-time fans of the series.
